Overview[ | ]

The CN9-A(C) is a Champion BattleMech. It features a modified loadout when compared to the Centurion CN9-A, but it has the same hardpoints. The CN9-A(C) can only be purchased with MC (MC), but it does provide a 30% XP bonus. The CN9-A(C) has a 38% faster torso and arm movement speed than the regular CN9-A. It also shares the same efficiencies as the standard -A in the Pilot Lab tree.


Strengths[ | ]

The CN9-A(C) spreads its hardpoints across several locations, mean it is less likely be rendered harmless by one section being destroyed. Compared to other Centurion models, it has the greatest number of hardpoint locations, which includes 3 Missile Hardpoints.

  • The top two missile hardpoints will allow up to 20 tubes. The third (bottom) missile hardpoint will allow up to 15 tubes.

Weaknesses[ | ]

The two energy hardpoints of the center torso must share only two available critical spaces, which limits the types and number of energy weapons that can be installed on the CN9-A(C).

The even distribution of hardpoint types and locations will require a diverse loadout. While not in itself a weakness, it precludes the possibility to specialize in one or two weapon types.

Design Quirks[ | ]

The left arm houses no weapon hardpoints. Armor can either be removed from this location to save tonnage for other uses or the arm can be used as a shield from incoming damage.

The CN9-A(C) has a Ballistic hardpoint in the right arm, but the stock loadout doesn't make use of it.
